First Place
\nBrittany Donnellan, Mitchell Trafford<\/b>
\nCentral Intelligence, Central HS, Springfield, Mo.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/794730<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: Great enterprise investigation that takes something everyone takes for granted and asks hard questions about the status quo. \u00a0Students were not afraid to question authority and really got sources to talk frankly.<\/p>\n

Second Place
\nPaige Moffis, Jessica Larson<\/b>
\nHTV Magazine, Hillcrest HS, Springfield, Mo.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/795449<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: Took a subject that could have been very schmaltzy and turned it into an honest look back at one of the hardest ordeals to overcome in adolescence. The production is just right \u2014 not cheesy or overdone.<\/p>\n

Third Place
\nHannah Hall<\/b>
\nDTV News Live, Davison HS, Davison, Mich.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/795362<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: Drill stories like this can often be deadly dull since the subject matter is fake by definition. But the team makes good use of the medium of television and also manages to connect with the human emotion side of a drill like this to see what it really means to people.<\/p>\n

Fourth Place
\nKersee Currier<\/b>
\nBlueprints\/Blue Valley Today, Blue Valley USD 229, Overland Park, Kan.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/794683<\/a><\/p>\n

Fifth Place
\nNatalie Neiman<\/b>
\nWDHS, Deerfield HS, Deerfield, Ill.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/795232<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: Students find a topic of high interest to their viewers and go ask some hard questions about the impact of the legislation. Good legwork and good follow through.<\/p>\n

First Place
\nJulia Bakerink, Campbell Maier<\/b>
\nMustang Morning News, Mira Costa HS, Manhattan Beach, Calif.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/795498<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: What an interesting and compassionate story. I liked your cute opening with the fast speed video of students hurrying in and out of class! You had all the proper elements; interviews with fellow students and family, as well as effective use of still pictures of when he was little. I learned a lot about Tourette. Along with a compelling interview you had some good information to share.<\/p>\n

Second Place
\nAaron Rosen<\/b>
\nWDHS, Deerfield HS, Deerfield, Ill.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/795236<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: Excellent camera work – lots of interesting angles of the glassblower at work. Very good editing; excellent use of natural sound to bring the viewer into the story. I especially liked your careful use of the split screen to highlight his work. The story was clearly told, and the \u201cdad\u201d was an interesting artist and the interview evoked lively answers.<\/p>\n

Third Place
\nMary Bifulco, Samantha Harris<\/b>
\nCentral Intelligence, Central HS, Springfield, Mo.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/794733<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: Very touching story; the reporters conducted very sensitive and moving interviews. The b-roll was very good, as well as the variety of interviews.<\/p>\n

Fourth Place
\nKelsey Wolf, Kate Westberg<\/b>
\nHusky Headlines, Blue Valley Northwest HS, Overland Park, Kan.
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/785278<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: Nice variety of interviews, shot from different directions and with proper microphone placement. A nice variety of shots (I enjoyed the shot of the horse\u2019s hooves clopping on the sand! And the other low angle shots) Solid interviews allowing the girls to share what they\u2019ve learned not just about the horses, but about themselves and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n

Fifth Place
\nAlex Kinsinger, Jordan Mordecai<\/b>
\nMHS-1, McKinney HS, McKinney, Texas
\nhttp:\/\/contests.schooltube.com\/contests\/showentry\/784654<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge’s comments: I don\u2019t normally like stories to open with a standup, but this one was clever, moving from the \u201ctypical\u201d pet… the dog… to the falcon. It brought the viewer right into the story. Very good interview; the falconer immediately explains his sport and how he works with the falcon. I learned a lot by the end – that the falcon never really returns affection for his handler! And how dangerous he can be. Very good shots of the bird.<\/p>\n
